Ports worth visiting

[Stix]

I'm curious as to what ports are worth a look at to catch capital ships asleep?

I see lots of people visit Scapa, are there any others that are visited by capital ships?

In my first 4 patrols of my GWX campaign i sunk the Hood, Illustrious and Rodney but haven't seen anything since. I'm going to upgrade to IX boat soon but wouldn't mind hunting some more capital ships before then. Any suggestions?

Stix,
I would love to know where you found thoes big battle waggons.
I have never found anything that big in my career game in either GWX or GW1.1a.

The Hood and Illustrious where up around AN 11 North West of scapa on the edge of the shelf (I try not to patrol shallow waters) very early in the war. I lucked on to both by picking up the taskforce sound contacts with no "taskforce report". The Rodney was travelling in a convoy reported by Bdu.

Thanks mate i will have a look on my way back to base and way out on my next patrol.

In early war, (must be in the right time in 1939~1940), scapa flow, firth of forth, liverpool (never, never, too many minefields+patrols),...

Later war, NEVER. Capital ships NEVER dock at ports, but goes with task force. You may be able to inflitrate a base with a Light cruiser and several landing ships, troop transports, and other stuffs with Harbour Traffic v1.47 mod which I used before GWX.

WARNING, ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE PREYS ARE JUICY (I prefer landing ships first since they must go down with 2 fish, with appox. 300 renown falls on my hand), NEVER SURFACE, since TROOP TRANSPORTS OWNS 6 GUNS and a lot of MGs. The Cruiser, of cause the more. I once died due to the greedy mind

You can never sunk all of them, as you don't own enough fish (even XXI is not adequate if u use duds and the weather is no good)
